Detective Inspector Ben Dyer said: "This would have been a shocking incident to experience or witness, so we’d like to speak to anyone who saw it happen or a white van driving off at speed.
"Your description, CCTV or dashcam could be vital in piecing together the circumstances and finding those responsible for targeting and threatening someone going about their business in the community.
"We will act on all information so come forward, and we’ll do the rest."
